About This Home
As of September 2025Welcome to this turnkey completely updated 2-bedroom 1 bath home tucked away on a private .4 acre lot with 24x30 outbuilding and storage shed. All the mechanicals have also been recently updated with metal roof installed in 2021 with new soffit and fascia, water heater in 2018, new furnace and ac in 2013, new gutters, updated septic system with 1500 gallon tank in 2022 (new system can accommodate a 3rd bedroom), updated electrical panel and all new vinyl windows (except the living room). As you pull up the drive you will see the 2-stall garage that has a covered walkway into the home with a large concrete patio to take in the views. Walking into the kitchen you will love the large picture window and garden window for lots of natural light. The cabinetry has all been updated and features an accent tile backsplash, new lighting, sink, faucet (with a 10-step alkalizing water filter) and stainless-steel appliances (new 2021). The glass in the kitchen cabinetry is a piece of 100-year-old seeded glass giving the home a touch of charm and character. The dining area has a new slider out to a new deck with railing to enjoy and relax while taking in all the nature & wildlife. The living room is spacious and open to the kitchen making for a great open concept floor plan. The back of the home has 2 bedrooms with closets and is separated by an updated bathroom featuring a tile shower with rain head, tile floors plus a bowl sink vanity. The basement has great potential for storage or finishing off an additional bedroom and or family room. The seller has already dug out the hole for an egress window for a 3rd bedroom and will leave the window for the next owner. Outside you will quickly fall in love with the 24x30 outbuilding with 12 ft ceilings and 10 ft door and 8 windows. The seller went the extra mile to make sure the outbuilding is watertight with waterproofing on the side plus tongue and groove wood framing and Tyvek around the whole barn. If you don't have enough storage, there is also an additional storage shed on the property with wild black raspberries that grow around it. Their is a firepit area in the backyard and the seller will leave additional slate to make an awesome outdoor firepit. There is a hardwired security camera system that stays with the home (8 total cameras). You don't want to miss out on this home. Seller not to review any offers prior to Monday 7/17/23 at 11:00 am.
